Weddings and Paws

Your pet's personal handler from portraits to aisle

Delaware County, PA, Pennsylvania

Founded by Stephanie

About

Stephanie started Weddings and Paws after her own childhood dogs couldn't attend her wedding — a memory she still treasures in the photos she managed to take in her dress. She has an English Cream Golden Retriever named Kaya and married her husband Tyler in 2021. She brings genuine personal understanding to every couple she works with.

How It Works

Before the big day, you can arrange an optional meet-and-greet so your attendant gets to know your pet and you can talk through logistics. On the wedding day, they pick up your pet, handle all care — water, potty breaks, grooming touch-ups — and position themselves near your photographer during portraits. When the moment is done, your pet is safely returned home or to their drop-off destination.

What Sets Them Apart

Round-trip transportation is included in every package — your pet arrives and departs without any logistics on your plate.
Packages scale from a single portrait session to full-day coverage, so you can match the level of involvement to your vision.
Photo assistance is standard in every tier, meaning your photographer can focus on you while your pet stays camera-ready.
They serve dogs, cats, and other pets — not just dogs — for couples whose whole family includes more than one species.
Founded by Stephanie, who dreamed of having her own dogs at her wedding and built this service to give other couples the moment she didn't get to have.
